In some remote sensing, such as meteorology and oceanography, wide swath scanning must
be used. Owing to the limitation of the detector size, especially in infrared spectrum, the
optical-mechanical scanning mode is necessary. Scanning efficiency is an important parameter of
those scanners. The high scanning efficiency is one of the goals followed after by the designer of
remote sensor. Two high efficient scanning systems are developed by authors. Those systems can
have some advantages, such as simple and reliable.
